    The weigh in should be interesting...

    I seem to recall after the Baranchyk fight he alluded to struggling with the weight and either he or his trainer suggested that his next would likely be the last at 140. I could be wrong on this though?

    He's not strange, he's Len of ESB.

    Josh has never said he struggles with weight at least not to the media.dont think mcguigan has either to my knowledge.it wouldn't surprise me if he moves up after this if he lost but you would think everyone involved would be trying to make the undisputed fight if he wins.

    I may have got it wrong tbh or it could've been something said in commentary. Sorry if so!

    Well it's very likely. Regis is tight at the weight, and Josh is 3" or 4" taller! He's bound to be tight at 140. Has to be.

    Yes for sure. I just may have got the source wrong, could well have been a pundit rather than Josh or his trainer.

    Either way this next fight goes, he surely won't be at this weight much longer.

    Josh being his usual obnoxious self at the press conference. I'd love to see him get a good hiding. Just love it! Come on Prograis!

    Josh looked huge today. Towering and imposing. His extra power may well be the difference here.

    Again, don’t suppose your one of the millions crying out for AJ to stop being fake and be more real?

    Even Josh's most loyal fans don't like him much as a person. He is universally disliked. You can't deny it. Nobody likes him. Sure they admire his boxing ability, but that's all. He'll never be popular.

    He is not a popular figure and they way he conducts himself shows why, also puts some amount of sh*t on twitter. really looking forward to the fight. Watched some of Prograis this afternoon and he is a tricky fighter who can punch and works the body well. If Josh trades with him he get taken out or worn down with body shots if he is tight at the weight.
    At the same Taylor has the hand speed and ferocity to hurt Prograis + he's the home fighter.
    I am leaning towards Taylor.

    I think Prograis is going to win via quittage. Taylor will start decently, the commentators will jizz every time he lands a jab, then he will get broken down in the second half and they will start calling prograis a future great

    As long as he shows better footwork than you did on strictly.
